I'll ride all day and I'll ride all night

And I'll overtake my lady

Yeah, I'll overtake my lady"

In the arms of Black Jack Davey

Wrapped up with Black Jack Davey.

To go with Black Jack Davey?

And I'd forsake my baby
48
And I'd forsake my husband too

Last night I slept on a feather bed
52
Between my husband and baby
53
And tonight I lay on the river banks
54
In the arms of Black Jack Davey
55
I'm in love with Black Jack Davey
